Every place has something special


Since I have been in the United States, I have learned that there are common and different aspects between Venezuela and the United states. Even though both societies share some characteristics, the nature of their people has produced each association.
First, in the two countries you can find many kind people in the small cities. They can help you if you need some information and make you feel pleasant. Nevertheless this behavior changes, in the same proportion, when the people go to the big cities. There are beautiful natural places in both countries, but the environments are different as well.

 However, the social development of both societies has been different and some habits and conditions have made both associations unique. The American people have strong norms about responsibility, punctuality and other things, while in Venezuela sometimes the people forget how important these are. Otherwise, The United States' economy is more developed, which makes the public services, have good conditions and the persons can enjoy them, something that is not usual in Venezuela.

 It is really important to mention that the two societies have many good aspects and we all have to value them, care and improve as well. We have to learn from each other, the mistakes and the successes, be responsible as well. Both societies have left to lose good characteristics that we can recover. Could be interesting to be able to share the good thing of both society, but now I am blessed to have the chance to know and learn.
